WHAT’S GOING ON HERE, JOE?

ENGLAND captain Joe Root was also in the spotlight after BT footage appeared to show him sucking on a sweet and then adding his saliva to shine the ball (left and right). Former England spinner Graeme Swann said there was no case to answer but South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was fined in Australia last winter for altering the condition of the ball with a mint. It remains to be seen whether Root will be called up before the beak.
